The federal government maintains an interagency website to inform consumers about product recalls, provide safety information, and enable the public to report dangerous products.
It specifically allows consumers to search for recall information from the following agencies with “vastly different jurisdictions:” Consumer Product Safety Commission, Food and Drug Administration, Department of Agriculture, Environmental Protection Agency, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, and the U.S. Coast Guard.
The website also allows consumers to sign up for e-mail alerts from most of these agencies notifying them directly about new recalls and safety information.
